[Leica] MP vs. M6 noise

[miki at arbos.net (MIKIRO)]

Ted,

I am one of those who have too much time for noise. :-)
IMHO, such dilettante fetishism is an important niche for Leica to 
survive. No one has ever rivaled and will probably will beat Leica in 
this field. Noise meters for Leica are pH meters and whatever laboratory 
devices for wine. A repair person in Asakusa Tokyo can change shutter 
curtain material to make your Leica sound and feel as you like. I 
respect such work. I love that feel in my hands which I would describe 
as tapping a rosewood table with ivory chopsticks... :-) Human ears and 
hands count more than anything else.

Yes. This is nothing to do with taking pictures, or at best, pepper on a 
steak ;-)

Cheers,

MIKIRO
